I thought about how easily we are all brainwashed by our society and culture to stop thinking and just assume by default that more money equals more success and more happiness, when ultimately happiness is really just about enjoying life.

If you're worried about putting food on the table or putting a roof over your head, that stress is definitely will contribute to unhappiness, but once you have your basic needs met then incremental money.

Your culture is your brand.

I made a list of the happiest periods of my life & I realized that none of them involve money.

Our society in general has is more money equals more happiness and all the research has shown that that's true up to a point, up until you can get your basic needs met, but then really there is other stuff that has a much bigger impact on your happiness besides just money.

Instead of getting an iPad, I now use my iPhone with a giant magnifying glass attached to my face.

Most companies are very quick to hire and slow to fire, when really it should be the other way around.
